In case you don't know the definition of ethnic cleansing, forced removals are ethnic cleansing, so even by your own comment they're engaged in it.
Hamas is a terrorist organization, and Israel reaped what they sowed by supporting Hamas for a decade in order to delegitimize the Palestinian National Authority.
Palestinians are not Hamas, and Israel is exploiting people conflating them to deflect blame for their genocide and ethnic cleansing.
Am aware of Bibi supporting Hamas. It was a cynical ploy by him.
Bibi required five (re)elections to resume power. There were huge protests for ten days when he wanted to control the judiciary.
Istaelis are not Likud
That's why I try to be very deliberate in differentiating between "Israel", which is a country and government, and "Israelis", which are the people who live there.
As an American, I'm extremely mindful of this distinction:
Being anti-American is bigotry based on national origin.
Being anti-America is a moral and justified position against an Imperial, settler-colonialist state that kills millions around the globe.
OK. By the way Israel always has coalition governments so there are several parties in this coalition although the largest component is Likud. The war cabinet is only Likud and National Unity (party led by Benny Gantz).
They don't care about that kind of stuff in here
